Speaking about next year’s festival, Slam Dunk’s Ben Ray said: “Slam Dunk Festival South has been taking place in Hatfield since 2010 so the town has truly become our home. Therefore, I am extremely happy we managed to find a new site still within the town.

“We are sad to leave the University, however the event was selling out months in advance so we knew we had to move it and make it bigger due to demand from the fans.”

Tickets for Slam Dunk 2018 will officially go on sale on Friday (November 17) at 9am, from here.

With the full ticket price set to be £49 (or £55 to include the “infamous afterparty”) plus booking fees, the 2018 festival will also introduce an installment scheme for ticket-buyers. Fans will be able to reserve their ticket for a small cost and pay the rest in installments up to the event.
